miseryloveselders: I'm not fantasizing, but hypothesizing a "what if" scenario. There's no need for you to be so opposed to the very idea, especially since all indication is there will eventually be a dropping of this doctrine. And this thread is not about IF it will happen, but in the case it does happen, how would you spin it? So you need to go back to the other thread.
metatron: Can I be frank with you? Calm the fuck down and listen for a second at what I'm saying! I'm not talking about some kind of "mass exodus" of average JWs. As far as the average JW is concerned, I agree whole-heartedly with what you're saying. Perhaps a better title to this thread would be "A Hypothetical Conversation with JWs On the Edge". But the fact that this may not cause the average JW to leave is irrelevant. This religion inherently carries with it a significant contingency of disgruntled, fringe, semi-apostate people with a stack of doubts and issues they've been trying to grapple with, and this will give them one more huge issue that might tip the scales. How the hell did we ourselves get here? So why wouldn't we try to exploit that?
Your stance seems to be one where we throw our hands up in the air and guffaw at the stubbornness of believers and just say "to hell with it." Well, I choose to give some people the benefit of the doubt. Even if they don't outwardly indicate agreement with any "apostate" idea, they sure as hell will remember it, and when they're ready, it will come up out of the cob-webbed corners of their mind and they'll have to confront it. So, I think you're jaded. And that's fine, but there's no reason to run around and "yell" at anyone who wants to try to help others.
